Book Description
Deborah Jorgenson is just four years old when she witnesses racism for the first time. Unfortunately, the hatred is directed at her. Born to Swedish parents in Minnesota in the early 1900s, Deborah believes her dark hair and skin come from a great-grandmother. When a fellow student bullies her and tells her she is an Indian, Deborah wonders why. Taught by her elderly Hopi Indian mentor to solve all her problems without resorting to violence, the strong-willed Deborah continues to hold her head high throughout her challenging coming-of-age journey. But when she is thirteen, her parents inexplicably turn against her and one another, setting off a chain of events that change the course of Deborah's future forever. She marries her childhood sweetheart Christian Nelson, and they have two sons, Jonathan and David. In 1929, they buy a farm in Northwest Kansas ignoring concerns about the future economy and drought. Christian worries about those in their county who believe Deborah to be Indian. Neither can begin to predict the challenges that await them. The Mourning Dove's Message shares the unforgettable journey of one woman's brave struggle to survive in the face of the chaos and adversity that overshadows 1930s America.

Consider the Birds
Author: Debbie Blue
Publisher: Abingdon Press
ISBN: 1426775903
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 217
Book Description
From biblical times to today, humans have found meaning and significance in the actions and symbolism of birds. We admire their mystery and manners, their strength and fragility, their beauty and their ugliness—and perhaps compare these very characteristics to their own lives in the process. Though admired today, the birds of Scripture are largely unseen and underappreciated. From the well-known image of the dove to the birds that gorge on the flesh of the defeated “beast” in Revelation, birds play a dynamic part in Scripture. They bring bread to the prophets. They are food for the wanderers. As sacrifices, they are the currency of mercy. Highlighting 10 birds throughout Scripture, author Debbie Blue explores their significance in both familiar and unfamiliar biblical stories and illustrates how and why they have represented humanity across culture, Christian tradition, art, and contemporary psyche. With these (usually) minor characters at the forefront of human imaginations, poignant life lessons illuminate such qualities as desire and gratitude, power and vulnerability, insignificance and importance—even as readers gain a better understanding that God’s mysterious grace is sometimes most evident in His simplest of creatures.

What can I say but: Wow, this ain't your mama's number book! With well over a thousand entries plus an extensive index, Raise Your Frequency Through Number Messages, by Melissa Alvarez, is a brilliant tour de force, an encyclopedic resource as expansive in its scope as it is insightful in its content. And I do mean insightful. I've been working with it for several days now and am finding its number messages to be remarkably accurate overall. Also accessible. This is the sort of book that feels as though it's speaking directly to you, comprehensive and conversational both. Whatever I ask it, I get an astute answer. Besides which, I have to add, it is really fun to use—almost addictive, in fact. Be warned, once you start perusing the pages, you may find it difficult to stop. I know I do. In all honesty, just the act of reading this book raises my frequency. It radiates positive energy. At its core, the book covers the numbers from zero to 1111, and for each and every one, Ms. Alvarez has intuited not only its special message, but also three related synchronicities (additional messengers, if you will, drawn from the realms of animal guides, Nature, and Universal energies), making this a truly unique reference. I know of no other quite like it, and I am so impressed by how well the author knit everything together. The synchronicities dovetail beautifully with the number messages. For the record, I've read almost all of Melissa Alvarez's books, and they never disappoint, but I think this one is my favorite so far. Raise Your Frequency Through Number Messages is destined to be a classic. I highly recommend this marvelous book!” —Mimi Riser, author of The Kitchen Witch Collection

Book Description
One of the first known novels by a Native American woman, Cogewea (1927) is the story of a half-blood girl caught between the worlds of Anglo ranchers and full-blood reservation Indians; between the craven and false-hearted easterner Alfred Densmore and James LaGrinder, a half-blood cowboy and the best rider on the Flathead; between book learning and the folk wisdom of her full-blood grandmother. The book combines authentic Indian lore with the circumstance and dialogue of a popular romance; in its language, it shows a self-taught writer attempting to come to terms with the rift between formal written style and the comfort-able rhythms and slang of familiar speech.
